About Catherine

Experience: 10 yrs

My name is Catherine, and I'm a professional ballet dancer, & ballet instructor with a strong background in child care. I've spent over a decade caring for children, including more than 10 years of babysitting and 3 years as a full-time nanny, working with children of all ages. I am very passionate about supporting families as a whole. My tasks included caring for the children, handling school drop off/pickup, meal prep. I am certified in Early Childhood Development and gained hands-on experience in a preschool, deepening my understanding of child behavior, development, and early education. As a ballet instructor, I've taught "Mommy and Me," further enhancing my ability to engage young children through movement, music, and play. I'm highly organized, proactive, and never shy away from getting my hands dirty-whether it's outdoor play, creative activities, or cleaning the house without being asked. I bring creativity, structure, and a warm, nurturing energy to every family I work with.

Catherine was an absolute gift to our family. She was our live in nanny for about 10 weeks, starting when my daughter was just 2 months old, and I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about her. She is kind, dependable, nurturing, and incredibly intuitive with children. She quickly learned my daughter’s cues and routines and cared for her with so much love and attention. Catherine was always singing, talking, reading, and engaging with her in such a warm and meaningful way. It was obvious that caring for children is something she genuinely loves. She is also proactive and hardworking. Whenever my daughter was napping, Catherine naturally found ways to help around the house with things like dishes, laundry, and tidying up. She never needed to be asked and was always looking for ways to make our lives easier. One of the things that makes Catherine so special is the joy she brings. As a professional ballet dancer and teacher, she incorporates music, movement, and creativity into the day in such a natural way. She has a calm, positive presence that made both my daughter and me feel comfortable from the very beginning. As a first time mom during the postpartum period, having Catherine in our home was one of the greatest blessings. She cared not only for my daughter but for our whole family, and I will always be grateful for the support she gave us during such an important season of life. I recommend Catherine wholeheartedly and without hesitation. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her, and I would hire her again in a heartbeat.
